Star Wars

Star Wars 1313 does look amazing, but there’s a quote from the developer they’re talking to that’s pretty worrying. They want to “make you unsure as to when you’re playing and when you’re in a cut scene” – to me, that sounds incredibly frustrating. Tags: Gaming, Star Wars

Sadness in Star Wars world
Another article which says mostly the same stuff, but this one has a very apt quote:
One player wrote in an e-mail to me this week: "The game for me probably will be a lost love. Sort of like seeing your spouse with Alzheimer's. Outwardly, everything appears the same as it always has, but you know that beneath the surface, things will never be the same."

Lucasarts continues to churn out Star Wars related games, and hey, if I was them I would too! Anyhow, Star Wars: Empire at War looks like it has definate potential.
Picture that moment in any RTS when you've amassed a large army, and use your uber micro to send it off into battle on 3 fronts - well, wouldn't that be even more fun if the army was a mixture of Stormtroopers, AT-STs, and even AT-ATs? Well, I think it would.
Looks like it's available in NZ from the 9th of Feb.
